Howdy everyone,
I've been trying to research which wireless modem to start my home network with, however, it seems my PS3's 802.11 b/g standard would slow down a "N" wireless network. The basic premise of my network would be to have gaming/streaming multimedia functionality. My network would consist of 2 computers (1 being a laptop), printer, PS3, PSP, and Slingbox or Sony's Location Free.
- The computer will be running Windows Media Center (which I hope to upgrade from XP for the multimedia purposes)
- A printer server would be ideal, but not necessary.
- I want to use my PS3 to stream video from PC to TV as well as gaming. I do some P2P sharing but not often, so I don't know what speeds or "throughputs" to be looking for
- Lastly, the Slingbox/Location Free to stream TV/DVR to my PSP when I'm on the move.
At this point I'm totally confused as to what I need to be looking for in order to determine which router would suite me best. Or which brands, ease of setup, etc. It seems all the 802.11 b/g routers are slow and outdated, but why would I upgrade just for the PS3 to slow the entire network down?? Is it possible to find what I'm looking for under $100 bucks? If not, then what are my two best options?
THANKS in advance!
